( Figs 13–17 ) Type material. Holotype male, (BDN No. A 13I90 ), China : Zhejiang Province, Hangzhou City, Changhua County, Qingliangfeng National Nature Reserve, 30°17’50’’N , 119°07’01’’E , 15.v.2012 , 1100 m a.s.l., R. Guo, Malaise trap. Diagnostic characters. The adult male of the new species can be distinguished from known species of the genus by having a slender acute anal point, pseudospurs on ta3 and ta4 of mid and hind legs, a bilobed inferior volsella and a flat megaseta not dentate.

Hypopygium ( Figs 16–17 ). Anal point slender, with pointed apex, 53 μm long, 20 μm wide at base, with 8 strong lateral setae. Laterosernite IX with 3 setae. Phallapodeme 63 μm long. Transverse sternapodeme 65 μm long. Gonocoxite 140 μm long. Gonostylus 70 μm long. Megaseta 5 μm long, flat, not dentate. Inferior volsella composed of anterior bare lobe and posterior rounded lobe. Virga weak, inverted U-shaped. HR 2.00. HV 3.14. Remarks. The new species resembles C . berui Mendes, Andersen et Saether, 2004 in the shape of the anal point, but it can be separated from the latter species on the basis of following characters: (1) pseudospurs present on mid and hind ta3, ta4 of C . procera , but absent in the latter species; (2) lower LR1 (0.72) in C . procera , whereas LR1 (0.87–0.94) higher in the latter species; (3) antepronotum of C . procera without seta, but seta(e) present in the latter species. Female and immatures unknown.
